Chigusa Yuuki vs Toshimi Minami

Toshimi didnâ€t advance at Chigusa while she was down. Her stalling was a good chance for Toshimi to regain the energy she had spent on the mat, to think of her next line of attack, and to simply enjoy seeing Chigusaâ€s struggles. It felt good to have the idol at her feet, with Toshimi herself barely having a few scratches on her, and letting go of this small pleasure would be a waste. “Youâ€re at my mercy… how nostalgic. You donâ€t seem to have changed that much since we last met.” She knew Chigusa would hardly be able to retort, since she could indeed have put her in another hold from that position. “Even your screaming voice still sounds the same.”

But, as she watched Chigusa slowly get up, Toshimi finally got tired of waiting. “Chigusa-san, donâ€t make your fans wait longer than they have to. They are all eager to see our fight.” The break was over, and Toshimi now walked towards Chigusa, who was on her knees. “Get up!” Toshimi grabbed the collar of Chigusaâ€s green schoolgirl uniform and pulled it upwards roughly to bring her to her feet. Then, she would pull her forward and quickly step around her to face her back, preparing for her next move.

Toshimi's taunt had it's intended effect, hitting a raw nerve and pissing Chigusa off. "Shut... up!" Chigusa said between gasps as she slowly pushed herself onto her knees. She hated submissions mostly because of Toshimi. What she did in their first match completely traumatized Chigusa, and even after all this time she was still weak to those moves. It wasn't like Chigusa could overpower Toshimi either. And even after all this time, she still couldn't get a better retort to Toshimi's taunting.

She must've been taking too long to get up, because soon Toshimi stepped forward and grabbed her collar. "Ack!" Chigusa gasped as she was hauled to her feet. She fully expected Toshimi to put her in another submission, but the submission master got her standing and then moved behind her. Chigusa swayed a little, still unable to properly get her balance.

"I've got to fight back!" Chigusa thought. Desperately, Chigusa threw her elbow back, hoping to jab Toshimi before she could lock in the next submission.

Chigusa's elbow strike hit nothing but thin air. Instead, when she finished her swing, Toshimi took the chance to grab the inside of her elbow. "Thank you." She had been able to tell, from Chigusa's angered look, that she was all too eager to fight back, and was expecting her to make such a move. Now, with her elbow taken and with her balance still unsteady, Chigusa was about to fall into Toshimi's trap again.

Toshimi moved swiftly and efficiently, like one who had done those particular movements many times before. She twisted her body to the side and hooked her leg around one of Chigusa's; at the same time, she put the trapped arm under her armpit. In less than a second, Toshimi would also put her hands around Chigusa's head and have her locked in an abdominal stretch!

"Eh?" Chigusa said in surprise when her elbow struck nothing but air. The suddenly Toshimi grabbed her elbow, and within seconds twisted her into yet another submission. "No!" Chigusa gasped, trying desperately to break free before Toshimi could lock the hold in. But Toshimi was far too efficient, forcing Chigusa into the famous abdominal stretch submission in mere seconds!

"A-ahhh!" Chigusa screamed as Toshimi stretched her. This submission put pressure on her entire body, and in Toshimi's hands caused Chigusa unimaginable pain.

Chigusa was in Toshimi's clutches again, and this time it would be difficult for her to even fall down or squirm towards the ropes. She'd have to go through the submission while standing, her feet effectively glued to the mat thanks to the pain and restraint of the hold.

And what a ordeal it was. Toshimi knew her way inside the abdominal stretch and had no mercy towards Chigusa. First, she twisted her body further to the side, bringing Chigusa's torso with her and focusing the strain on her abs. Then, when she thought the idol was reaching her breaking point, she would instead lean back and shift the heavy strain to her neck and arm. Toshimi would keep alternating her focus like that for about thirty seconds, after which she would simply release Chigusa and let her fall to the mat.

Within seconds of being locked in to the hold Chigusa was screaming in pain. Toshimi knew her way around the hold too well, first torturing the already wounded abs, then applying pressure on Chigusa's arm until it nearly popped out of its socket. The pain was completely unbearable, Chigusa's eyes were tearing up, and she was gasping for breath.

"No... please... no more..." Chigusa said weakly, before another hard wrench made her scream out in pain. Those thirty seconds felt like eons. When Toshimi finally let go at the end, Chigusa sank down onto the mat, lying facedown, breathing hard and fast. This was playing out just like last time, when Toshimi utterly destroyed Chigusa.

Toshimi enjoyed this hold even more than the last. She knew exactly how to inflict the most pain on Chigusa's body, and thus the screams she extracted were much more rewarding. What's more, Chigusa's state of helplessness, her desperation, were making Toshimi's truly sadistic side slowly arise. When she was about to release her, though, she heard the idol's plea.

"No... please... no more..."

"Already?" she thought. After she released Chigusa, she went to rest on the nearest corner, looking at Chigusa's downed figure with a slight frown. Dominating her had been nice until now, of course, but Toshimi didn't want it to end so soon. It was her first match here, after all, and she woudln't be satisfied with a submission after just two holds. Maybe she should control herself a bit.

"Come on, Chigusa. Get up. I believe you can still fight," she said, dropping the honorific from Chigusa's name. "I'm giving you another chance, but unless you seize it now, I shall have no choice other than humiliate you. Remember my finisher?" She smiled as she proceeded. "If you don't get up right now, you're going to experience the Paradise Lock once more." She stressed the name of her finisher, sure that Chigusa would recognize it.

This was none other than the hold which had demolished Chigusa in their previous match. Toshimi expected the threat to scare Chigusa and give her some extra motivation to get up.
"You have fifteen seconds to get to your feet. Starting now. Fifteen! Fourteen..."

Toshimi's threat sent a jolt of fear through Chigusa's body. She knew that technique too well; Toshimi's ultimate submission. It was enough to make her get up and keep fighting out of fear. Never again did she want to be put through that.

Slowly, Chigusa began pushing herself up to her feet. "Ohhh..." Chigusa moaned, taking deep breaths and ignoring her own body's protests. She couldn't just let it end this way, she didn't want to lose to Toshimi again! As Toshimi's countdown reached the single digits, Chigusa pushed herself to stand up. She managed to fully get up right before Toshimi finished counting.

"I won't let you use that again," Chigusa said, her word lacking strength. She raised her arms, standing in a fighting stance.

Toshimi waited on her corner, watching while Chigusa forced herself to get up. She even sped up the count a bit as she got up, just to see her hurry more. "Two! One!" Just before she reached the end of her count, Chigusa stood on her two feet again, so Toshimi stopped counting and stepped forward. "Good recovery. That's the spirit," she said, her voice as calm as ever. "Now all you have to do is defeat me."

She approached Chigusa and assumed her stance as well. She would be cautious in the case Chigusa tried to strike her, but if she didn't she would offer a lockup. "No tricks this time," she would say, reminding Chigusa of the outcome of her previous surprise attack.

Chigusa was genuinely afraid of Toshimi now. It was a terrible attitude to have in a fight, but she couldn't help it. When Toshimi could hurt her unimaginably and she could do nothing back, it terrified her. So as Toshimi slowly advanced, Chigusa slowly moved backwards. Everything, from the emotionless face to that too calm voice unnerved Chigusa. She hoped this fear wasn't too apparent.

When she saw Toshimi offering a lockup, she knew that she couldn't accept. That would only be walking right into a trap. Chigusa was a mediocre grappler at best, she stood no chance against an opponent like Toshimi. But she couldn't try a surprise attack either, since Toshimi proved that she was ready for anything Chigusa had. She really had no choices. So Chigusa moved forward, accepting the challenge, hoping that she could come up with some way to defeat Toshimi or some weakness would present itself.
